Ingredients
  • 3 small scoops of coconut vanilla ice cream*
  • 1 dollop whipped cream*
  • 1 medium banana, cut lengthwise
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup
  • ½ ounce 85% dark chocolate
  • Superfood Sprinkles:
  • 3-4 cherries (fresh or frozen thawed)

  • 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon hemp seeds
  • ½ teaspoon bee pollen
  • Other sprinkle ideas: cocoa nibs, goji berries, chia seeds, slivered almonds, lemon zest
Instructions
  1. Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and add in the banana and maple syrup.
  2. Saute for 1-2 minutes to slightly caramelize and soften the banana and then add the sliced banana to a plate.
  3. Top the banana with the ice cream and then top with a dollop of the whip cream.
  4. In the same pan, over low heat, add in the chocolate and melt, stirring continuously to prevent burning (you can also melt over a double boiler, but this takes more time).
  5. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the ice cream and banana.
  6. Top with the "superfood sprinkles" and enjoy immediately!
